Fiscal Responsibility
Responsible Budgeting
"When it comes to budgeting, my focus is on decisions that truly benefit our community. We need to ensure that public-private partnerships not only bring valuable investments but also offer fair wages and benefits for our residents. Our resources should be dedicated to critical needs and repairs to current facilities rather than frivolous projects. By carefully evaluating our needs versus wants, we can build a strong foundation for our city's future, fostering sustainable and prosperity for everyone."
Certificate of Obligations
"I will work to increase awareness and transparency around the use of Certificates of Obligation (COs) in our city. The goal is to ensure these funds are used responsibly and strictly for emergent needs, rather than advancing projects prematurely. By advocating for greater detail, responsibility, and community involvement in how COs are managed, we can ensure resources are allocated effectively, maintaining public trust while addressing our city's most pressing needs."
